Costanza The meeting was called to order. There was a review of last months minutes. Dr. Fallahi stated that L. Marchese sent regards that she could not be at the meeting as she had to introduce Ted Turner. Dr. Fallahi said that the Carlos Cortes event was well attended and successful. Dr. Fallahi announced that Carlos Cortes had to take a cab back to the airport and motioned that the committee reimburse him for the fare. The motion was seconded. Dr. Fallahi announced that she will be stepping down after 5 years of chairing the Faculty Diversity Committee. She called for nominations for the officer committee. Dr. Fallahi announced that Thurs. May 7th in Vance, elections would be held for a new president of the diversity committee. No one has nominated anyone as of yet. The issue of who will vote was discussed. Since the committee is open to all, all in attendance will have voting privileges. Dr. Merenstien and Dr.Fallahi have met with Dean Pease and received approval on the plan to add a diversity requirement on the curriculum. The issue of this plan passing through the faculty senate was discussed. There is a general belief that the diversity requirement will be filibustered by the faculty senate. Dr. Fallahi discussed the need for greater communication between senior members of the faculty senate who regard themselves as diversity experts and the Faculty Diversity Committee regarding the change in curriculum. Dr. Fallahi suggested that there would also be some issues with regard to cost/benefit analysis of the proposal. There are issues to be dealt with such as who would pay for the release time. There was a suggestion made that the proposal be withheld from the faculty senate until it has received the approval of several self-regarded diversity experts within the senate. No motion was passed. No motion was carried. The issue of who would select the courses for such a requirement was also discussed. Dr. Costanza suggested a subcommittee of the Faculty Diversity Committee and a Subcommittee of the Curriculum Committee work in conjunction to facilitate the change. No motion was put forth. Dr. Merenstien reiterated that the no committee could do anything until the faculty senate. Dr. Fallahi mentioned that the issue of what to do with the students who were grandfathered in under the old curriculum might present an obstacle. A motion was made by Dr. Fallahi to remove the proposal from the faculty senate until the timing was better. The motion was seconded. It was agreed that a subcommittee be formed next year to deal with the issue of diversity in the curriculum. There was a brief discussion of mandatory diversity training. Dr. Reasco emphasized a growing concern about redundancy among committees. The future of the Faculty Diversity Committee was discussed. Dr. Fallahis final report on this committee to the faculty senate is due at the next meeting of the faculty senate.
